Purge Control Valve, Function




Purge Control Valve, Function




Y58/1 Purge control valve
A from activated charcoal canister
B to intake manifold

The purge control valve (Y58/1) is actuated by the ME control unit by means of a PWM signal (ground side) in line with the operating condition of the engine.
If purging is actuated, the passage from the activated charcoal canister (a) to the intake manifold (b) is opened and closed.
The voltage supply to the purge control valve is performed by terminal 87.
